Built on the Tyne river over 25 years ago, H.M.S. Northumberland came back to North Shields to celebrate being rededicated and put back into service after a five-year refit. During the ceremony, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland inspected the troops before affiliates and guests were invited aboard.


Calvert Trust Kielder has a long-standing relationship with the crew of  H.M.S. Northumberland and was glad to be invited to the ceremony and to welcome the crew back to the area.


During the evening reception, guests were invited to watch a ceremonial sunset, where the ship's flag was lowered for the night.


Here is a short video from the day.
